An ambulance was called to the scene of the accident but Mr Carsley was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is being looked in to by both the Health and Safety Executive and Hampshire police.<\/p>\n
Mr Carsley\u2019s family said in a statement that his sudden death had left them \u201cshocked and numb\u201d<\/em>. The circumstances of what happened are not clear at the moment and as a result it is no surprise that the Health and Safety Executive are getting involved. Their job is to prevent death, injury and ill health to those at work and those affected by work activities. They will want to establish the circumstances of the accident and whether it could have been prevented. They will also look at the employer\u2019s working practices to\u00a0 see whether or not any adjustments might be made in future to try to limit the chances of a similar incident occurring.<\/p>\n In conjunction with this, an employer owes a general duty of care to their employees under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which includes the provision of safe working practices. This is an ongoing responsibility for the employer and requires them to continue to train staff and upgrade and maintain a safe working environment. If Mr Carsley\u2019s employer is found to have not complied with their responsibilities under this Act then those who depended upon him financially may be entitled to bring a claim on his behalf against his employer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
